THE STREETS or NEJV- YORK

The present condition of the streets of this
city IS sucn as to SURPRISE strangers, though
the people of New York are too much accus-
toned to abuses to think much about il.
Yet it is undoubtedly the fact that scarcely
any other civilized city would tolerate it. 1t
really looks IA though, when the winter set in.
New Workers gave up all hope of keeping the
streets in order. and made up their minds to
stand whatever the weather might bring
between that time and spring. In other great
cities snow is never allowed to stand In the
streets. With us the exception is its prompt
removal. II the principal thoroughfares are
kept passable; that Is. II the snow. slush and
mud In them are pot more than ankle-deep, it
seems to be thought that every thing necessary

IN ONINOUS SPEECH.

Prince BismarclS's speech is remarkable
admixture of optimism and pessinism. Ohe
half of it is taken up with demonstrations OF
Germany's friendly relations with rival Powers
and the security of it's position in Europe; ana
the remainder Is a passionate appeal for addi-
tional ornaments, larger military budgets,
more men and a long period of service. His
confident assertion that the Empires relations
were never better with Austria, Russia, AMI
France lie followed up by frantic call to arms
for al impending European war. lie takes
the most hopeful view of the present state OF
Continental diplomacy. and yet in the even'
of war with France despars of finding an
ally in Europe. He is confident that the dis-
position of the Paris Cabinets has been and ia
pacific, yet he forecasts campaign In the near
future for the recovery Of Alsace- Lorraine aud
the conquest of Hanover and affrms that the
possibility Of French invasion is a sufficient
motive for the army bill.
The pains taken by the Chancellor to accent
uate his cheerful optimism tends To underscore
the gloomy pessimism with which his speech
closes. The effect is felt throughout Europe
where fOrebodings Of approaching war are In
stan,ly inspired. In France there is a feeling
OF exhlaraton az well as alarm. The Hepub-
lie has failed 10 the course of sixteen years to
regain the lost provinces; but 1t now has the
consolation of knowing that its military organ
ization has ceased to be oespised and that ii
has succeeded in thoroughly frightening its
bitterest foe in Europe Military appropria-
tons, which were hanging Ere in the French
Chamb ers, are made with precipitate rush in
CONSEQUENCE of Prince Bismarck's speech.
'This ia fha frat affect of hla OmnOus review of
Germany's fOreg n relations. The Chancellors
challenge il promptly answered by renewed
preparations for war beyond the Rhine.
There is nothing in the master diplomatisi'
plea for the maintenance OF peace by Increased
ornaments thaC tends to restore European con-
idence. Larger armies and heavier budget
are accepted at their face value as preparations
for war,

snort SBRIFT FOR ROURKE.

The District "A ttorney's Office and the crim-
nal cOurts SHOULD deal swiftly aud sharply with
the case of the murderer who shot ROuDdsman
Montgomery. Never was there more inviting
opportunity to show ruflians, whether In uni
form or not, that they may expect prompt
punishment for the taking of life. No more
insOlent defiance of law and order has been
seen in this town for N any day than the kill
ing of Montgomery. The worthless scoundrei
who deprived the police force OF the serS ices of
d most valuable and efficient officer has for
ieited his evil life to the scafold, and there
should not be al hour of unnecessary delay in
exacting the penalty.
Sergeant Crowley was hurried to Sing Sing
prison for long term, pursued by tremendous
clamor, for n crime which doubtless deserved
severe punishment, but the real nature and
extent Of which were probably exaggerated in
a reckless purpose tn make the utmost capital
y. ssible out of n sensation This is a wholly
d fferent case and far worse one. There
seems to be no doubt that R"urkes crime was
as cowarly and vindlctive a murder as has
ever been known in the streets of New-York.
The murderer should have the life clicked
out of him as soon as the machinery OF the law
can properly accomplish it. Indictment, trial
and conviction should move as swiftly as
energy and determination can push them
through. The inevitable appeal should then

THE COAL STRIKE.

II "a apprctendcd that a coal famine will
ensue if the present strike of the miners and
handlers continues much longer. As yet the
eompanies have done nothing toward filing
the places of the striking handlers. One rca-
son given for their inaction is the fear oil
bringing on general strike among the rail-
road hands if non-union men are employed.
If such fear is indeed the motive Of the pres
ent inaction Of the companies, the prospect IS
ANYTHING but encouraging. for the implication
is that the strikers have tho whip-hand of
the situation. Already tho effects OF tho
strike arc felt in this city, and as usual in snch
cases the earliest and the sharpest suffering
fails upon labor. Many Of the retail dealers
have taken advan age Of the strike TO
raise their prices, which in some cases have
been advanced from 81 to 81 per ton. But
those who arc made TO pay the heaviest prices
are the poor who cannot buy coal by the ton.
There are thousands of hard-working men ana
women in Ncw-Yorll who are so poor that
tbcv arc compelled TO purchase their coal by
tbo hpcket or scuttle full The ordinary price
Of \ scutllc il cents but the rumor OF
famine has been utilized by he dealers who
supplv this class Of custom to rase the rate
TO 10 and even 10 cents the scuttle.
OF course. this is an cnOrn Dns increase, ana
altogether out Of proportion, but the poor
cannot help themselves and must pay 1t or
freeze. Tic rise in the price of coal by the
ION is also unwarantable under the eNlsung
circumstances. This increase also Affects
chiefly people in narrow and moderate crcum-
stances and it must cause much pinching IN
,onv small families. Those who viii feel a
famine first are also worliingmen employed
~ factories. mills and all kinds CT industries
where the consumption OF coal is large anu
constant Should the supply fail many OF them
will have 10 suspend wok, and their hands
will then bc thrown out OF employment. AS
TO wealthy people in private life, who lay ID

nothing to arprchcnd. The real suffering
